| How To Cure/Prevent "Cradle Cap" Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:54 PM PDT Cradle cap is a condition in infants and babies in which the scalp has red and sometimes scaly patches.

Fortunately, cradle cap can usually be treated with frequent shampooing. A mild baby shampoo will usually do. You will usually have to wait for your baby's sebaceous glands to normalize in their oil production. However, some parents like to help with treating the symptoms of cradle cap with the use of natural oils. What you will need: |

| How To Customize a Letter of Business Closure Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:47 PM PDT Every business owner wants to break even and profit from his enterprise.

| Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:46 PM PDT Tonsils are tissues situated at each side of the throat, and are part of the body's immune system. The tonsils filter debris and bacteria from the body through the nose and mouth. Tonsils can get infected and inflamed, though, which leads to a condition called tonsillitis. While tonsillitis will usually subside naturally or with the help of antibiotics, chronic tonsillitis can produce pockets in the tonsils, which can trap food and other debris. These pores are called crypts, and therefore the condition is called cryptic tonsils or cryptic tonsillitis. Cryptic tonsillitis is not a serious condition, although it can be quite uncomfortable and unpleasant. In many cases, a cryptic tonsil would produce bad breath, because of the bacteria and food particles trapped within. In some cases, the debris form into tonsil "stones," which are called tonsilliths, mostly made up of trapped bacteria and food particles. |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:43 PM PDT Stamped concrete is all the rage in construction projects these days.

You can use different tools and implements to make a custom finish on recently poured concrete. |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:41 PM PDT Springtime is coming. Picnics can be fun and enjoyable, especially if you're spending time with the family. One thing that's definitely not enjoyable is being stung by a bee. Bee stings are very painful, and the discomfort lasts long after you've been stung. What's worse is that they sometimes cause an allergic reaction, which can be very dangerous and even fatal. First aid for bee stings will involve taking out the stinger and giving antihistamines, in case there is an allergic reaction. Here are things you should do when you or someone has been stung by a bee. Move away from the area. Most bees will sting when they feel threatened. For example, if you disturb them while pollinating, or if you disturb their hive, they will attack. A bee that has just stung will send a signal for help, and so other bees might charge into the area. Get away as soon as you can, and find a safe spot to administer first aid. |
| How To Curb Pregnancy Cravings Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:40 PM PDT Pregnancy comes with many so-called symptoms. This is because a foreign body has essentially lodged itself into your body, and is growing from within. And so your body might be trying to adjust. This is also due to the swaying levels of hormones inside the body. Aside from nausea, morning sickness and bloating, you will also crave a lot of things. You might have a hard time resisting these cravings. While it's not necessarily bad to crave foodstuffs, it becomes a difficulty if you suddenly crave for something in the middle of the night. It's not only difficult for you, but also for your spouse, as he might feel obliged to go out and buy you something, or at least get to the kitchen for a nightcap. Pregnancy cravings can be curbed. Here are a few things you can do to keep pregnancy cravings at bay. |

| How To Cure Ailments Through Urine Therapy Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:37 PM PDT In alternative medicine, urine therapy involves the use of urine (usually one's own) to treat various kinds of ailments. This can either be through drinking of urine, or applying it externally to various parts of the body.

| Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:35 PM PDT A fear of bugs is a common phobia shared by children and adults alike. Sometimes, there will be no determinable root cause. In many cases, fear of bugs usually comes from an aversion to creepy crawlers. Most people don't like the feeling of having small legs running over one's skin. The thought of a sharp proboscis piercing your skin can even be scarier. Most bugs are harmless, and are natural parts of the ecosystem. Without bugs like bees, beetles, spiders, and the like, the environment would become imbalanced. However, some bugs do bring sicknesses and disease, which is one reason humans dislike their presence. The trouble lies when a simple aversion to bugs turns into a phobia. People who have such phobias might avoid getting out of the house altogether, for fear of flying insects landing on them. Insects can also haunt people in their nightmares. A simple sighting of a small spider or fly indoors might bring panic attacks. |

| Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:32 PM PDT Babies and small children are a wonder to dress up. They can look cute on anything. Onesies or bodysuits are popular among babies, though, because they're easier to manage than an outfit with different pieces, especially with very active kids.

Therefore, a good way to save up on your baby's outfits is by customizing them yourself. There are various ways to customize a onesie. These will involve either ordering one with a custom design online, or customizing it yourself with decals or fabric paints.

| How To Curl Hair with Foam Rollers Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:25 PM PDT Using curlers on your hair will add body and volume. This is especially useful if you have limp, straight hair. Using a curling iron can be tough on your hair, and will result in damage in the long run. Using brush rollers is safer, but these can still be tough on hair. Foam curlers, on the other hand, are gentle on hair. If you sleep with curlers on, foam curlers are also softer. These can be ideal for use with children, as they don't sting the scalp while in bed. There are different ways to curl your hair using foam rollers. You can go the direct route, just letting your hair curl while you sleep. Or, you can use hair products to help maintain body, if you intend to blow-dry for a quicker setting. |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2010 05:23 PM PDT You might have stayed up all night once in a while working on an academic paper or some report due at the office in the morning. Or, perhaps you're in the medical profession, and you sometimes spend 36-hour shifts.

Whether you're into engineering, the arts, or if you're into trains, nothing can be as exciting as creating your very own masterpiece with your train set.

You get much needed exercise, and he gets to stretch his legs too, which is useful if you live in cramped conditions at home.
